When present in the US, you are subject to US law, no matter what your citizenship is. There are exceptions for certain diplomatic personnel, but for an aveage citizen, US law applies. A US citizen visiting Another Country is subject to the laws of THAT country. I am a US citizen, and US law permits me to own and carry a handgun. If I were in a country that did not permit private ownership of handguns, I would be subject to arrest if I carried a handgun there.
